    5 Nursing responsibilities
    Uterine Contraction
    Latent Phase:

    • Assess patient’s psychological readiness. Help the mother to get comfortable


    • Provide encouragement, reassure, and companionship
    • Assist with coping methods
    • Measure duration of latent phase
    • Conduct health teaching on breastfeeding, newborn care, and effective bearing down
    because during this time, patient’s anxiety is controlled and she is able to focus on
    nurse’s instructions.
    Active Phase:

    • Inform patient on the progress of her labor to lessen her anxiety and obtain her
    trust and cooperation.
    • Start monitoring progress of labor with the use of WHO partograph, 2-hour action
    line.
    • Encourage patient to be continually active to maximize the effect of uterine
    contractions. Upright maternal positions are recommended if tolerated.
    • Assist patient in assuming her position of comfort. For those who can’t stay
    upright, left-side lying is recommended to avoid disruption in fetal oxygenation.
    • Monitor maternal vital signs and fetal heart rate every 2 hours, or depending on
    the doctor’s order.
    Transition Phase:

    • Inform patient on progress of her labor.


    • Assist patient with pant-blow breathing.
    • Monitor maternal vital signs and fetal heart rate every 30 minutes -1 hour, or
    depending on the doctor’s order. Contraction monitoring is also continued.
    • prepare for delivery. Check room temperature. The nurse should also notify staff and
    prepare necessary supplies and equipment.
    • perform handwashing and double gloving.

    Cervical Dilatation
    6-ACOBA,Oliver C.
    2NUR-1

    Latent Phase: Active Phase: Transition Phase:

    • Instruct patient on quality pushing. The abdominal muscles must aid the involuntary
    uterine contractions to deliver the baby out.
    • Provide a quiet environment for the patient to concentrate on bearing down.
    • Provide positive feedback as the patient pushes.
    • Repeat doctor’s instructions. At this phase, the patient barely hears the conversation
    around the room because all her energy and thoughts are being directed toward giving
    birth.
    • Take note of the time of delivery and proceed to initiate essential newborn care.
    Delayed cord clamping is recommended.
    • Assist in restrictive episiotomy for patients who had vaginal births.
